Dear Gilbert, Dear Gordon

Museum curator Mark Hignett recounts a collection of Second World War letters that revealed a hidden love story between two British soldiers, Gilbert and Gordon. Written when homosexuality was illegal, the letters express love, hope, fear and longing while exposing the risks they faced if their relationship was discovered. Read by Olly Alexander, the correspondence offers an insight into their lives and dreams, as Mark and producer Ilona Toller explore this historical archive.
